Verslag Van Het Bezoek Door Een Nederlandse Parlementaire Delegatie Aan Australië in Het Kader Van Nederland-Australië: 400 Jaar Vriendschap
Staten-Generaal 1/2 Vergaderjaar 2006–2007 A 30 949 Verslag van het bezoek door een Nederlandse parlementaire delegatie aan Australië in het kader van Nederland-Australië: 400 jaar vriendschap Nr. 1 VERSLAG Vastgesteld 2 februari 2007 1. Inleiding In 1606 stuitte een klein jacht van de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, dat was uitgezonden om de gebieden ten zuiden van Nieuw-Guinea in kaart te brengen, op onbekend land. Dit schip was de «Duyfken»; de kust die schipper Willem Jansz als eerste in kaart bracht, was Australië. De landing van de Duyfken op de noordkust van Australië markeert het begin van een lange relatie tussen Nederland en Australië. Zowel in Nederland als Australië is in 2006 met tal van activiteiten de vierhon- derdste verjaardag van dit eerste contact herdacht. Tot deze activiteiten behoort het bezoek dat een Nederlandse parlemen- taire delegatie van 8 tot 15 oktober 2006 op uitnodiging van het Austra- lische Parlement aan Australië bracht. De delegatie stond onder leiding van de Voorzitter van de Eerste Kamer der Staten-Generaal, mevrouw mr. Y. E. A. M. Timmerman-Buck. Voorts bestond de delegatie uit: J. ten Hoopen (CDA), Onder-Voorzitter van de Tweede Kamer; mr. G. J. de Graaf (VVD) en prof. dr. R. Rabbinge (PvdA), leden van de Eerste Kamer; mevrouw mr. J. Stuurman (PvdA) en ir. P. H. Hofstra (VVD), leden van de Tweede Kamer. De delegatie werd begeleid door de Griffier van de Eerste Kamer, mr. G. J. A. Hamilton, en de plv. griffier van de Tweede Kamer, drs. M. E. Esmeijer. Tijdens de reis kregen de thema’s aandacht die in het Programma van Activiteiten Nederland-Australië 400 jaar vriendschap centraal stonden: – de rol van Nederlanders bij het in kaart brengen van Australië; – de bijdrage van de Nederlandse strijdkrachten aan de verdediging van Australië tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog; – de emigratie van Nederlanders naar Australië in de 20e eeuw; – verschillende aspecten van de huidige relatie op gebieden als kunst, cultuur, onderwijs, wetenschap, sport, buitenlands beleid en handel. -
